COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONApricot flavouringA Beer Cloaked in Secrecy
An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers.
A beer brewed clandestinely and given a name whose meaning is never revealed. Why #9? Why, indeed.
A sort of dry, crisp, fruity, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is
really impossible to describe because there’s never been anything else quite like it.
Fermented with our 150 year old strain of top-fermenting English yeast.

18.02.2015. 3/4 Pint Bottle at Bread & Butter, New York. Pale amber colour with white head. medium body with a fair malt flavour. Sourish aromas of fruit. Harsh. Yeast is mentioned, And there is a kind of homebrew syrup thing going on. Not for me this one

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a stemless tulip glass (Brooklyn Brewery glass). Aroma is quite floral and a little fruity, but still smells crisp and a bit bready like a beer should. Deep golden hue is very inviting, but the head receded very quickly. Taste is earthy and floral right away at the front of the sip. The middle of the sip is where the fruitiness appears. The finish reveals a tiny bitter bite, but leaves you with a smooth, sweet aftertaste (aftertastes arenâ€™t always bad!). For this style of beer, the mouthfeel is in that perfect, middle-of-the-road range. Not too light, but definitely not a heavy beer. Quite impressed with this beer. Itâ€™s a very balanced brew and would accommodate a wide range of entrees if paired with a meal! (Too bad I already ate). "Never turn your back on your beer."
